What is Renewal?
Students living in apartments, University
Commons suites, and the RIT Inn have the
opportunity to renew their housing contract for
the space they are currently living in for
the 2015—2016 academic year.
To participate in Housing Selection,
you must meet the eligibility requirements:
• Renewals are online at myhousing.rit.edu.
• You will renew as an individual, not as a group.
If you are not going to renew your current
housing for the 2015—2016 academic
year, go directly to page 6 for other
Housing Selection options.
1. No holds of any kind on your student account.
2. Not graduating.
Your To-Do List:
1. Resolve any holds or outstanding balances
that may be on your student account.
2. Complete an online housing contract at
myhousing.rit.edu between October 27—30.
NOTE: The housing contract you need to
complete will not be available until midnight
October 27th.
3. If there is a vacancy in your 2015—2016 RIT
housing after October 30th, and you want
to add a roommate to that vacancy for the
2015—2016 academic year, you must add
the roommate between November 10—24.
See Step 2 on page 5.

Step 1: Complete Contract
Students who are currently assigned to an
RIT apartment, University Commons suite,
or the RIT Inn who want to return to the same
assignment for the 2015—2016 academic year
must do the following:
Step 1: Complete Contract
• Go to myhousing.rit.edu between October
27—30.
• Complete a contract for the 2015—2016
academic year.
• When completing your online contract,
be sure to click on Reserve Bed under the
renewal button and then hit submit.
The housing contract you need to complete
to renew your housing contract for the
2015—2016 academic year will not be
available on the housing portal
(myhousing.rit.edu) until midnight
October 27, 2014.

Between October 31—November 7
If you renewed your current housing (step 1)
you will receive an email notification if the
apartment, suite, or room you renewed has
any vacancies for the 2015—2016 academic
year. You will have between November 10—24
to complete the online roommate add process
in order to add in a student(s) of your choice
to fill the vacancy you may have in your
housing unit.
Example
Four students live in a 2-bedroom Colony Manor
apartment. Three of the four students went
online and renewed their contracts. The fourth
student did not renew since she is graduating
in May. The three students who renewed may
decide as a group who they want to add in to
the vacancy created by the student graduating.
To roommate add a student of their choice in
the vacancy, the student adding into the
apartment has to do a 2015—2016 housing
contract along with a roommate add request.
The three students who renewed have to
submit a roommate add approval between
November 10—24.
Step 2: Roommate Add Process
Step 2: Roommate Add Process
For students who renewed and need to
fill vacancies.
November 10—24
The student to be added to your vacancy must
go to myhousing.rit.edu between the dates of
November 10—24 and do two things:
Under the Renewal button on your online
contract, you will see a link to a PDF for the
University Commons Suite Bedroom Sign-Up
Form. Print, complete, and submit this form to
Housing Operations no later than November 24,
2014 if anyone who is renewing wants to
change rooms for the 2015—2016 academic
year or you are adding a new student to a
vacancy within the suite.
• Complete a 2015—2016 academic year
housing contract.
• Complete a roommate add request.
After the student to be added has completed
his/her contract and roommate add request
form, you and your roommates must go to
myhousing.rit.edu between November 10—24
and each complete a roommate add approval.
Important - Please Read Carefully!
Students who do not fill vacancies in their
2015—2016 housing by 11:59 p.m. on
November 24 will no longer have the
opportunity to add another student to
a vacancy.
All vacancies in RIT apartments, University
Commons suites, and the RIT Inn that
remain open at 11:59 p.m. on November 24
will be entered into the available space
pool for Housing Selection Phase II and
assigned to students who participate
in that phase.
University Commons Only
Spring Housing
The Housing Selection Renewal process only
applies to the 2015—2016 academic year and
has nothing to do with spring semester housing
assignments. If you want to add into an RIT
apartment/UC suite for spring semester, you
need to go through the online roommate
add process.
